PUEBLO — The Colorado State Fair kicks off on August 25th and with the price of admission, a wide variety of events are sure to please every fairgoer without any additional cost… more free to see!

Free opportunities include:

The Agricultural Pavilion, presented by the Colorado Department of Agriculture, provides the ultimate experience for ag education.  The young and young-at-heart can be a farmer for a day, visit the petting zoo, and learn how agriculture plays a role in all our lives.

Free attractions offer a wide variety of entertainment including Wild Science, Snap Boogie, Sea Lion Splash Show, Swifty Swine Racing Pigs, Stilt Circus stilt-walkers, Fables of the West strolling comedians, the Colorado Fair Museum, and Antique Tractors.

Three stages (Coca-Cola Stage, American Furniture Warehouse Amphitheater and Weatherport Tent) offer free music, dancing, and events throughout the run of the Fair.

A number of livestock competitions provide a glimpse into ranching life.  Youth exhibitors work throughout the year to get their steers, horses, chickens, rabbits, hogs and other livestock in peak performance shape. Plus, 4-H and FFA projects are on display.

The Fine Arts Exhibition displays the top picks for the artwork submitted by Colorado residents for this prestigious art show.

New this year – FREE carnival rides with $10 Fair admission on Wednesday, August 30.
